IVE Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius for Internet have the to help you exercise them to discover what God's will for your life
The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola is an ordered sequence of meditations and contemplations-exercises-that arise from the deep spiritual experience Ignacio lives after their conversion, in order to help that is exercised on them to discover what God's will for your life.
Ignatian Spiritual Exercises back to Notepad in which Ignatius describes his spiritual experiences during their visit to the city of Manresa, where, as he writes in his autobiography "God treated him the same way that a teacher is school to a child (Autobiography 27).
Ignacio decides to write this Booklet of the Spiritual Exercises for the purpose of helping others, communicating ideas and feelings that he had been transformed. Therefore, designs and produces rather as a guide, not so much to the experience-but to which preaches.
The goal of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises is to help the exerciser to know and discern what God wants of him, and desire and choose that.
In particular, the Spiritual Exercises are very useful for organizing everyday life according to God's will, and even discover what vocation God is calling me, for those who have not yet decided.
While it is optimal to retire to a quiet place for retreat, and have the guidance of a priest 'in person', but since this is not always feasible, it is possible to exercise at a distance, using the benefits that brings internet.
Two ways to achieve them.
One could be called 'spiritual exercises in everyday life. " These are an accommodation, that the same S. Ignacio did in his note 19, for busy people could make his Spiritual Exercises.
The other way is to spend a few days (minimum 2) in a place where one can be without jobs and with the confidence enough to meet a schedule like that is a spiritual exercise 'face'.
Spiritual Exercises in daily life These exercises in everyday life have been developed by José Luis Caravias sj
Assistant Paraguay's National CLC
Notes before to successfully perform the Ignatian Spiritual Ejecrcicios in everyday life (EVC) is able to carry out successfully a complete processing of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, in his mode called "in ordinary life", as proposed by Ignatius. We consider this method appropriate for lay people, for their work and family obligations, no time to shut for a month to perform the exercises intensely.
The last stroke almost a year, devoting about an hour of daily prayer. If you spend less time or are interrupted, stretch for a few months
Not everyone is able to perform this powerful experience. And those who are able, generally require advance preparation
The person who wants to fully realize the Ignatian Exercises must have a sufficient degree of maturity and sincere search for God.
is not advisable to enter into them who have serious unresolved problems of personality, family or work.
But they should also enjoy a tour of stage and spirituality: a habit of prayer and a median theological training. At least you do not have serious gaps in faith and church membership
If someone does not belong to some kind of lay community, must be willing to enter any of them. But we should not enter into the process of living Exercises and another kind of spirituality, because it could harm the mixture of different spiritual approaches
And, of course, to the EVC must be able to perform them. Involve daily effort, time and space, plus some economic cost for retreats and books. It is good to try them when you are too busy or is not the place and time for daily exercise
If married, you should make the EVC as a couple. Worth waiting a while to start, if that is expected to be well prepared the couple missing. When you start getting the two together is important to accompany the process at each other, so that frequently pray together at least once a week, discuss what they have seen and felt.
In the months before the stroke recommend that, as the preparation of each person, made a series of workshops, courses and / or readings, so that you can enter certain fundamental problems solved exercises, filled some gaps theological and basic knowledge needed to pray earnestly.
recommend starting with a weekend retreat to introductory exercises, which will get to acquire a basic idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is what they want and be encouraged to do so seriously. Each person determined to make the EVC should have a "companion", secular / religious ao / a, who can advise throughout the process. Among married to consider each spouse as his second companion. Assumption
prior discernment, as the needs of each person, we suggest some possible pre:
Workshop introduction to reading and meditating on the Bible.
Workshop Introduction to Ignatian spirituality and prayer.
course or reading some foundations of Christology.
If married, living together on biblical spirituality marriage.
Reading, possibly commented on the group, the Autobiography of St. Ignatius.
Once the passenger or the candidate creates sufficiently prepared to have to see a possible date to start the stroke, preferably within a group
Experience shows that it is efficient to start the introduction and each of the four stages with a retreat Intensive weekend. Its purpose is to gain an overview of what will be done in the coming months, "twinning" with other people with whom you share the same way. Then, in ordinary life extensively, each person or couple is on a regular basis with their spiritual companion that helps you a personalized experience
have also been useful to form two groups were not very many of exercisers who parallel paths. Each has its intensive meetings a week apart, so it is possible that couples who have nowhere to leave their children to go to each different intensive stages a week apart. This gives also a second chance to the person that presents some unexpected difficulties, so that is not outdated
Now I invite you to pass the text of the Exercises in daily life
